Established in 2015, Dorothy’s bar is centred in the heart of Chinatown, Singapore. The location itself is highlighted as a heritage site.

It is also known to be the oldest location as a gay bar with over 20 years of history. If the walls could talk, the stories it would tell. The name Dorothy’s is derived from the old slang used in the 1940s “Are you a Friend of Dorothy”.

The atmosphere of having a home away from home is pride by Dorothy’s, additionally powered by the almighty mixologist “the WIZARD of OZ” Jimmy, creating iconic beverages and cocktails only found at Dorothy’s Bar. The outdoor balcony overlooking Trengganu and temple streets, a touristic location, makes it a good place to extract yourself and relax while absorbing in the sights.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY...

“A great little bar in Chinatown. A little difficult to find the entrance at first, you can spot the bar terrace upstairs from the street. We kept asking the store holders downstairs until we eventually got there. Very friendly waiters, nice atmosphere.“

“Visited for a few nights, not easy to find just look for the flag. Drink prices are average for Singapore gay bars. Very cosy and relaxing venue. Met a very nice lad called Daniel from China there. Best bar in in Singapore.“

“This place is really fab. I came here a few years back and came again on work trip to find under new management. Hot staff hahaha.. really nice vibe and great drink promotions like 1-4-1's and stuff so good for travelers like me as Singapore is expensive! Went on weekend and they had an all you can drink night!!! one note to anyone is that the entrance is found on Temple St near the tailors shop but easy too find if you look for the flags. well advised.“

“A charming oasis in bustling Chinatown. Aze and his team made us very welcome and we had a couple of enjoyable evenings there. Staff and fellow customers were very friendly. The whimsical Wizard of Oz decor is cleverly done and adds a nice ambience. We'll be back “
